Ja, hat was. Ich habe es gerne gelesen. Sprachlich fand ich es toll. Die Story ist verrückt und führt nirgendwo hin. Muss sie aber vielleicht auch nicht.
Das abgebildete Cover geht gar nicht. "Sowas" würde ich nie lesen. Kein Wunder, wenn das Buch nicht die richtigen Leser findet.

Ik ben 43 pagina's ver geraakt maar alles komt voor mij te onnatuurlijk en geforceerd over. Niet mijn ding.

More like 2,5 stars. I'm not entirely sure whether to give this two or three stars, but at the moment I'm going with three.

First of all, I think this wasn't my kind of story. It's not bad - I think it would really help to be able to relate to the story, which I couldn't because I have never experienced something like this. I can imagine enjoying this better when you're around twenty five or thirty years old.

Julia Franck has a lot of potential, I think. Her writing is accesible with every now and then a lovely sentence that moves you. However, I feel like this book could do with more of those sentences. I also felt that she wanted to put too much into this book and not all of it seemed really coherent to me. I also thought that the characters could have been developed better.

Since this was only her second book, I'd still like to read "Die Mittagsfrau", because I think it's almost certain that her writing has improved since.

Dit boek kon mij niet echt boeien. Vanaf de eerste pagina had ik neiging om regels over te slaan. Ik kon weinig sympathie voor de hoofdpersoon opbrengen en had al vrij snel door wat er met die Albert aan de hand was. Tegenvaller.

Hach, Frauenromane. Ich weiß auch nicht. Irgendwie verspannt.

Redelijk verhaal, maar ik heb geen connectie met de vertelster . Waarom is zij overigens clown in een circus? Te Duits, te serieus, maar wel consequent vanuit een labiele persoon verteld.

I really did not care too much about this character...
